Hi Gujjars,
I would like to inform all that as far as History of India is concerned the Gujjars are incomparable.
The Gujjar Partihars empire which continued in full glory for nearly two centuries was the greatest empire in India before and after the Muslim conquest. This honour is unjustifiably accorded to the Harsha and Akbar by many historians of repute but without any real justification.The Gujjar Pratihar empire was the larger and certainly not less is extent and its duration was much longer than the Gupta and Mughal empires.
The Difference between the empire of Mughals and Gujjars is that the Mughals were having no threat at all in the name of religion whereas Gujjars faced many wars from invaders in the name of religion and within India from rashtrakuts who were providing vital information to the Muslim invaders and Jai Chand was not the first Rashtrakuts to help Ghori, the invaders.
From the days of Junaid (A.D.725) to those of Mehmud of Gazni, The Gujjars Pratihars alongwith their Gujjar fuedatories Gujjar Chauhans, Gujjar Guhilots, Gujjar Solankis, Gujjar Chandels, Gujjar Tanwars, Gujjar parmars stood as bulwark of India's defence against the aggression of the Muslims.
Historians of India, since the days of Elphinstone, have wondered at the slow progress of Muslim invaders in India, compared to their rapid advances to the other part of the world. Arguments of doubtful validity have often been put forward to explain this unique phenomenon. This is the point where all the historians and scholars agreed that it was the Power of Gujjars Pratihar arms that effectively barred the progress of the Muslim invaders beyond the confines of Sindh. This must be regarded as the chief contribution of the Gujjars to the History of India otherwise India would have been a Muslim country by three hundred years before the end of Gujjars empire. Also this was the reason why Mughals did not like Gujjars and Rajputs of gujjar stock and new rajput powers like Kushwahs and rathores became prominent under the umbrella of Mughals.

Hi Historians,
The size of army of Gujjar King Mihir Bhoja the Great was biggest in comparison to all other great rulers of India for the period including before and after the Muslim conquest. The Size of Cavalry of Gujjar king Mihir Bhoja was 36 lakhs fighters having 9 Lakhs each in all the four directions. The Size of the country ruled by Gujjars at that time was from Multan to Karnataka and up to present day Bangala Desh in the east.
Akbar the great was having no threat from the Muslim invaders in the name of religion and having smaller challenges but Gujjars like Naga Bhatta the Great and the Mihir Bhoja the Great were fighting bigger challenges at both the ends i,e, at one side with Muslim invaders and other side with rashtrakutas (The present day rathores).
See the Historical record in support of my claim.
Al Masudi an Arab historian, a native of Bagdad, who visited India in the year 915-16 A.D. refers to the great power and resources of the Pratihar king of Kanauj, and the wide extent of his kingdom, which touched Rashtrakuta kingdom in the South and the Muslim Principality of Multan in the west with both of whom the king was at war. He was rich in horses and camels and maintained four armies in four directions each numbering 9,00,000 men.

Too sale koi bhi ho par brahman nahi ho Sakta kyonki Brahmins are knowledgable people. I am not beating my own drum but providing the vital information for you fools who are living in the total darkness as far as truth is concerned so that you fools get a chance to salute the protectors of India i,e. The Gujjar Pratihars and can have some patriotic deed by doing so.This is the record of Al Masusdi who was Arab scholar in the court of Arab rulers and Gujjars in India were the biggest enemy Arab invaders and if an enemy is writing this much about Gujjar empire, think how Great the Gujjars are.

Too sale koi bhi ho par brahman nahi ho Sakta kyonki Brahmins are knowledgable people. Dekh Misraji Kya kahte hain about Gujjars. www.bharatvani.org/books/hhrmi/ch2.htmArab travellers to India of the 10th century “all speak of only two independent Arab principalities with Multan and Mansurah as their capitals”. The Pratihara kings waged constant war “against the Arab prince of Multan, and with the Mussalmans, his subjects on the frontier”. Multan would have been lost by the Arabs but for a Hindu temple. Dr. Misra quotes Al-Istakhri who wrote about AD 951 that in Multan “there is an idol held in great veneration by the Hindus and every year people from distant parts undertake pilgrimages to it… When the Indians make war upon them and endeavour to seize the idol, the inhabitants [Arabs] bring it out pretending that they will break it and burn it. Upon this the Indians retire, otherwise they would destroy Multan.” Finally, he observes: “Thus after three centuries of unremitting effort, we find the Arab dominion in India limited to two petty states of Multan and Mansurah. And here, too, they could exist only after renouncing their iconoclastic zeal and utilizing the idols for their own political ends. It is a very strange sight to see them seeking shelter behind the very budds, they came here to destroy.”13

Not only in Rajasthan where the Samants and Soldiers of Gujjars including many of Gujjar clans like Chauhans. Guhilas, Solankis,Chawras,Parmars,Tanwars,Dhamas etc are called as Rajputs, the Samurai of India, there are many other warrior clans like Kamojas settled in Bengal are the ex-soldiers of the Gujjar kings. See the historical record:
According Dr H.C. Raychaudhury, numerous Kambojas had joined the army of Gurjara Pratiharas. In fact according to him there was indeed a regiment of the Kamboja soldiers in the army of Gurjar Pratiharas. When the Pala kingdom lost political and military clout over time, some commanders of the Kamboja soldiers took political control of the situation as is normally expected in similar circumstances. (The Dynastic History of Northern India, p 311, f.n. 1). Dr H. C. Ray states: “I must also admit however, that the Bengalese Kambojas may also have come from north-west as mercenaries and then formed into an independent army under a Kamboja chief by successful rebellion” (IHQ., XV-4, Dec, 1939, p 511 Dr H. C. Ray, EI., Vol XXII., p 153, Dr N. G. Majumdar, The Dacca University Studies, Vol I., No 2, April 1936, p 132).
Pratirajpur in North Bengal named after Gurjar Pratihars. An inscription pillar found in Dinajpur (now in Bangladesh)of Gurjar Pratihar king Mahendra Pal, son of king Mihir Bhoja the Great shows the boundry of Gujjar kingdom in the east side of india was up to present day Bangla Desh.

The Description of the Gujjar Kingdom during the time of Mihir bhoja the Great by an Arab account which is attributed to Suleiman.
The Gujjar king maintain the numerous forces and no other Indian prince has so fine a cavalry. He is unfriendly to Arabs. Among the princes of India there is no greater foe of the mohammadan faih than he. His territories form a toung of land.He has got riches and his camels and horses are numerous. Exchanges are carried on in his state with silver and gold and there are said to be mines of these metals in the country. There is no country in India more safe from robbers.
History is not what the bards write by getting the expensive gifts from their Yazmans but it is what the scholars of your enemies write is as piece of information to give a warning to their lords not to take risk of their life even by thinking of an a attack at India at that point of time.
All the Gujjar history can be found in the historical records of their enemies and it is not written by bards.

Hi Historians, See what Al masudi says about the rashtrakutas (Rathores, the other adversary of Gujjars at that time). The troops and elephants of Rashtrakuta king are numerous but his troops are mostly infantry (on foot soldiers). Both the kings and his subjects are described as being friendly to Muslims and according to some other writers Muslims were appointed even as Governors of cities in the kingdom. Al Masudi further says " That there is none among the rulers of Sindh and Hind who in his territory respects the Muslims like Rashtrakut king. In his kingdom Islam is honoured and protected. And for them the Mosque and congregational mosques, which are always full have been built for offering prayers five times. So this was not the first time that the Ghori was invited first time by Jaichand rathor against the Gujjar Chauhans but this proves that this union of Arab invaders and rashtrakuts was formed much earlier against Gujjars.
